Product Features

Your product includes the following special features.

•Scanning Passports and Booklets

You can scan originals such as passports or booklets (DS-C490 only) using the straight path position.

Note: For DS-C330 models, an optional passport carrier sheet is required when scanning passports.

With the scanning software, you have the option of saving only the identification pages of your

passport (Windows only). See the software help for more information.

Document Capture Pro software allows you to read the MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) of a passport

and convert information such as name, nationality, and passport number into text data, which can then

be exported in CSV or XML format (Windows only). See the Document Capture Pro documentation for

details.

•Glass Surface Stain Detection

When the Detect Glass Dirt setting is enabled (Epson Scan 2 Utility >Scanner Setting tab >

Detect Glass Dirt), the scanner detects any stains on the glass surface inside the scanner and

displays a notification on your computer screen. When this notification is displayed, clean the glass

surface inside the scanner with a genuine Epson cleaning kit or a soft cloth.

Note: Some stains may not be accurately detected. If detection does not work correctly, try changing

the settings. If no stains are detected, select On-High. If stains are detected incorrectly, select On-

Low or Off.

•Text Enhancement

9

You can use Text Enhancement settings (Epson Scan 2 >Advanced Settings tab > Text

Enhancement >Settings) to emphasize light letters and remove dotted patterns in the background of

difficult to read originals. You can also correct scanned images when the corners or edges of the

original are folded or torn, or when a shadow appears around the scanned image. The missing edges

or corners will be automatically filled with the color of the original document.

Note: When using Document Capture Pro, you can open the Epson Scan 2 screen by clicking the

Detailed Settings button on the Scan Settings screen.

•Document Protection

When the Paper Protection setting is enabled (Epson Scan 2 Utility >Scanner Setting tab > Paper

Protection), scanning stops immediately when the following conditions are detected:

• A paper feed error has occurred

• An original is fed at an angle

• The combination of the original and the scanner position does not match

Note: Some feed errors may not be accurately detected. If detection does not work correctly, try

changing the settings. If no errors are detected, select On-High to increase the sensitivity. If errors are

detected incorrectly, select On-Low to decrease the sensitivity. Select On-Medium to detect stapled

originals and skewed originals that the lower setting could not detect.

•Double-feed Detection

Set the timing to stop operations when a double feed is detected (Epson Scan 2 Utility >Scanner

Setting tab > Double Feed Stop Timing). Select Immediate to stop scanning immediately after any

double feed is detected. Select After Eject to stop scanning the next document.
